He was smart. He did well in medical school. Yet when I asked him what her medications were for, he had no idea. Can you imagine that? Going to a doctor and he doesn't understand why you're taking certain medications?

This happens more often than you think.

You are under the care of a doctor who prescribes you medication.

You then go to another physician for different problem and he wants to know what medications you are taking.

There's a key reason for him to know what medications you are currently on.

He needs to know that in order to make sure any treatment or medication he provides does not conflict with the medications you are currently taking.

He needs to know if there is any interaction between the medication he is prescribing and the one that you are currently on.

As part of a basic history and physical examination, a physician is required to obtain a great deal of information to help him understand what problems you have and what treatment you are currently getting.

Let me show you what happened in a medical malpractice case I handled involving a patient's treating physician who had absolutely no idea what two medications the patient was taking or why.

This was remarkable.

My client believed that her doctor was careless at a particular time on a particular day.
